emuMaster

An emulator, in the most general sense, duplicates (provides an emulation of) the functions of one system with a different system, so that the second system appears to behave like the first system. Unlike a simulation, it does not attempt to precisely model the state of the device being emulated; it only attempts to reproduce its behavior.

A common form of emulation is that of a software emulator, a piece of computer software that allows certain computer programs to run on a platform (computer architecture and/or operating system) other than the one for which they were originally written. It does this by "emulating", or reproducing, the behavior of one type of computer on another by accepting the same data, executing the same programs, and achieving the same results. A popular use of emulators is to run software and games, often referred to as ROMs.

A program that allows one to emulate a game or computing
platform. An emulator is used to mimic the behavior
of one machine on another. For example: MAME ( Multi
Arcade Machine Emulator) is an emulator that allows a
user to play old arcade video games on a PC. There are
Emulators for just about every gaming platform from the
Atari 2600 to Playstation. Emulators work by using ROMS
to load game data. (Note: it is against copyright law
to possess an ROM that you do not own an actual game
of unless that game has entered the public domain.)
